NGI's Natural Gas Forward Basis Prices are expressed in U.S.$/MMBtu and based on indicative data obtained from traders, exchanges and deals provided by energy companies. "Fixed Price" represent the forward prices of natural gas delivered for each reference period at the various locations/hubs. "Basis Price" represent, for each reference period, between the Henry Hub and various locations/hubs. The Summer and Winter prices are simple averages of Apr-Oct (7 months) and Nov-Mar (5 months) respectively. "Bal Smr" and "Bal Wtr" prices represent simple averages of the remaining months in those seasonal strips (after at least one month has passed).

In contrast to recent range-bound action, natural gas futures added close to a dime Tuesday as forecasters noted hotter medium-range weather trends that could keep current storage deficits from shrinking as quickly as previously thought. In the spot market, prices strengthened across the Midwest and Texas with hot weather on the way, while points in the West pulled back; the NGINational Spot Gas Average added 4 cents to $2.44/MMBtu.

Natural gas futures inched lower Friday after trading in a fairly narrow range, with the market continuing to piece together a storage picture that could see deficits persist deep into the summer. In the spot market, prices fell across markets in the West as Midwest points strengthened following recent declines; the NGI National Spot Gas Average slipped a penny to $2.33/MMBtu.

Natural gas futures pulled back slightly Tuesday as analysts pointed to the potential for prices to retreat further ahead of an Energy Information Administration (EIA) report expected to show a larger-than-average storage injection. In the spot market, hotter temperatures supported higher prices in Texas and the Midwest, while Appalachia continued to show volatility coinciding with maintenance in the region; the NGI National Spot Gas Average added a nickel to $2.44/MMBtu.

Natural gas futures inched lower Tuesday, with bears and bulls both struggling to gain the upper hand amid the competing influences of production growth and storage deficits. In the spot market, with moderate shoulder season weather in full swing across much of the Lower 48, most regional averages finished within a few pennies of even; the NGI National Spot Gas Average climbed 2 cents to $2.35/MMBtu.

Natural gas futures rebounded Monday after trading on both sides of even, with the market continuing to weigh production growth against storage deficits as May forecasts hint at cooling demand potential.
